Another attempt to draw more backgrounds/scenery. No characters this time, just a forest (the colours were inspired by Satorl Marsh from Xenoblade Chronicles which I'm playing through right now!! and wow dang it's so pretty even on the 3DS's terrible screen resolution! but I can't really draw all those individual ether droplets on the trees...eeep). also, trees are easy and fun to draw 
so... for the process I kinda goof'ed up originally (made the trees the colour I wanted the BG to be) but thankfully it was easily fixable. I was planning on drawing a tiny Shulk and possibly Dundun but I didn't really want to spend that much time rendering them lol
The picture looked extremely boring so I highlighted the forest with purples and pinks! and added little fireflies!
the finished pic is in the spoiler! and here is the link to it on redbubble (which i know no one really checks, but seriously you should it looks pretty as a print!)

Awww this is lovely! Love the colours in it! Youre right it does look good as a print! The fireflies does really add to it!

Thank you
here are some more trees, this time with the actual colours of a forest
Colour-wise, I wanted to actually use green/brown this time.
I used orange to make it feel a bit more unsettling because otherwise it'd be a little boring haha
as always, finished piece is in the spoiler tag, and it's also up on redbubble as stuff.

Beautiful work, windfall! I absolutely love the look of your latest scenery-related drawings. It's so incredible how you work wonders with brushes *_*
Haha, I love the thread name change btw! imo the gifs are definitely one of the best aspects of your gallery thread ;-]

Which bodies? :O
Thank you!! It was my goal last year to work on learning to draw more scenery but... that didn't really work out so I wanted to at least give it a go this year! A lot of the trees are just done with the lasso marquee tool and then filling it in with the paint bucket ahah
I was wondering if anyone noticed the title change (and was sorta concerned that people might get it mixed up with tumblr-esque gifs) but I'm glad you like it!!

A little tired of trees, so here's a speed paint! like about 40 mins i think so that's why its not that detailed and whatnot and ahHHh i dunno what I'm doing with myself right now @@ just procrastinating -_____-
i really like teal (I have a water bottle that's teal lol)
as always, spoiler has the full image! (and here's the redbubble link).

dragged my friend out to see finding dory on friday eheh. it was such a pretty movie! i loved the piper short at the beginning, it was gorgeous and so cuteeee
i liked how the scenery was pretty much a character of it's own! but painting the reef in this pic was ridiculous...?? geez.

Dory was a very pretty movie The piper short was amazing also! definitely see it when you have a chance!!
and also - another picture! kinda pleased with this one since it's with colours i don't normally use and yeah!!
still dunno how to draw umbrellas. or hands. 8( the silhouettes and bokeh effects were fun to do. wasn't sure how I was gunna pull off rain but I think what I ended up doing is passable.

another lapis pic!!
its a little plain :/ ugh. tried to make it a bit more interesting with leaves in the wind (even though it doesn't make that much sense in a beach but blah) i accidentally merged layers when I was drawing lapis so that's why she appears all at once
